How to Download the New ITALIANBARK Guide for Interior Design Trends 2018/ 2019

After visiting the IMM fair in Cologne on January and the Stockholm Furniture Fair this February, I worked to put together a new downloadable Trend Guide. It was the right time for an update and to take a look at some interesting news for this year and 2019, six months after the guide I created last September. In the downloadable file you will find a recap of new design and color trends for this year and the next: 22 new trends, including interior styles, materials, color palettes, and everything new I noticed at the latest European design fairs. The newsletter surbscribers already got the guide in their mailbox it last week, but you can download it too from today by subscribing at this link.

Interior Design Trends: Should we Follow or Ignore them?

A good design should, above all, be long lasting and honest. This means go beyond current trends, that change in very few time. So now the question is: why we keep talking about trends in this blog?

I think that the reason really changes according to your profession. But, basically, learning design trends is useful for your job, if you work in the interior and design industry.

If you work for a company, or if you run your own company, knowing the current and future design trends can help in the research for new product launches. Also, in making a prediction in terms of sales for certain colors/materials/shapes.

If you work as a creative, following a design trend can look quite boring and predicted for your own freelance projects: you don’t want to do something original that next year you will see everywhere, right? So learning design trends is also a good way to avoid them. You can also learn about trends, then you can play with them in your own way. Or maybe deciding to go in the opposite direction. But, one thing that’s for sure: great designers don’t ignore design trends. They understand them, in order to do better with their own work.
